Professor of Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging Dr Anil
T. Ahuja will visit the Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP) next month to
meet with clinicians and researchers with a view to future collaborations.
“I hope to interact
with academic and clinical members of the department with a view towards
exchanging ideas about research, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and
newer clinical applications of our specialty,” said Professor Ahuja, Chairman
of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong and Chief of Service at the Prince of Wales Hospital,
Hong Kong.
Having obtained his radiology training in India and England,
Professor Ahuja began his academic career at the Department of Imaging and
Interventional Radiology at the Faculty of Medicine, Chinese University of Hong
Kong in 1988. He has a keen interest in
the imaging of head and neck diseases and his research is focused on neck
masses, lymph nodes, thyroid, parathyroid, salivary gland, and neck and head
tumours.
Professor Ahuja said he is honoured and humbled to spend
time at MHTP.
“Australia has always been known for high quality medical
research and its translation into practical daily clinical practice.”
Professor Ahuja hopes to learn from the experience of MHTP
clinicians and researchers.
“On a personal note, I am a passionate supporter of the
Australian cricket team, except when they play India!”
“We are delighted to host Professor Ahuja, a world-renowned
expert in ultrasound imaging,” said consultant radiologist and Head of Women’s
Imaging at Monash Health Dr Monica Pahuja.
“Professor Ahuja is the team leader for the upcoming new
ultrasound publication to join the rest of the best-selling Diagnostic Imaging
reference series.”
Professor Ahuja has published extensively in peer reviewed
medical journals, lectured at international conferences and is Assistant Editor
for Clinical Radiology. He has edited ten books on radiology and

“I have always found Australia to be warm and welcoming and
am looking forward to my visit there in May,” said Professor Ahuja.
